Writing with Text Evidence- RACE Strategy Poster

This RACE Strategy Poster is designed to support students as they write clear, organized responses using textual evidence. It can be displayed as a classroom anchor chart or placed in a student binder or notebook so students can easily reference it while writing.

The RACE strategy provides students with a clear structure for responding to reading comprehension questions and written responses.

✨ RACE stands for:

• Restate the Question
• Answer the Question
• Cite Evidence
• Explain how the evidence supports the answer
  

This visual reference helps students respond in complete sentences and include evidence from the text to support their thinking.
